Los Angeles, CA

Communities in South Los Angeles, some of the most disadvantaged neighborhoods in the region, are transforming with inventive sustainable community strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage more walking, biking, and use of the region’s extensive public transit system. See these neighborhoods, including Watts, Inglewood, South Central Avenue and Hawthorne, experience the Metro Blue, Green and Crenshaw/LAX Light Rail lines, and eat lunch from Renowned Korean-American Chef Roy Choi’s restaurant LoCol under the iconic Watts Towers. We’ll pass by SpaceX, the construction site of a new stadium in Inglewood, and kick some dirt on the future active transportation route along a former freight rail corridor that will link Inglewood with the Los Angeles River. And then we’ll even smell the native wildflowers at a former industrial wasteland, which is now Augustus Hawkins Natural Park!
